Just guessing here, but "The third field, key file, describes the
file to use as a key for decrypting the data of the source
device. Note that the entire key file will be used as the passphase;
the passphase must not be followed by a newline character."

Does it work with 'echo -n ...'?

Also, you should put something in the fourth field. According to the manpage
the fourth field is mandatory. In the log below it says
that the options used were aes, xts-plain, key size 512 bits. Is that correct?
